This music composition lesson follows on from an earlier video about the rule of the octave and you may well want to watch our other video first. In this lesson we examine the linear implications for part writing using the chord scheme presented by the rule of the octave, with one voice centred around the tonic, another centred around the third, and yet another centred around the fifth. The video covers the logic behind the choice of melodic notes then goes on to show how the parts are combined in the first, second and third positions. Ascending and descending patterns are covered, along with examples in both major and minor keys. This video offers insight into harmonic thinking that will illuminate Baroque style and the writing of harmony more broadly.
